Ike de Jager is a
certified instructor for the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation and ASI (ATV Safety Institute).
He has been coaching schools for the military
over the past six years, instructing on both
motorcycles and ATV’s.
Some military divisions necessitate the
need to be at a higher level of proficiency
thereby achieving the correct utilization of
motorcycles/ATV for tactical mobility. We provide
both entry and advanced level lessons.
2020 Racing Academy has in excess of 45
years experience in tactical mobility with
Motorcycles and ATV’s.
2020 Racing Academy has devised a
complete program based on a building block
format; this program will take a student from a
beginner level to a highly proficient advanced
level in one week. This incorporates three days
for the motorcycles and two days for the
ATV’s.
If required
references from the US Armed Forces are available
on request.
